BIOGRAPHY

Though Janne Da Arc fans had initially been disappointed in January of 2007 as they learned that the band would be taking a break and the members would be working on solo careers, a rush of excitement was felt in May as Janne Da Arc vocalist yasu started to work on his solo project. An official announcement had not been made, but that didn’t stop yasu from performing in secret, and throughout the month May and in the beginning of June, he held various secret lives all across the country.

In June, the official announcement of the start of Acid Black Cherry appeared on the official site of Janne Da Arc. This was not the only announcement, however; the groups first single, SPELL MAGIC, would be released in July.

The highly anticipated single was received very well, and for the recording yasu had been working together with various other well-known artists, such as SUGIZO (S.K.I.N., ex Luna Sea) and SHUSE (ex La’Cryma Christi). Live, he was supported by Chisato (PENICILLIN), YUKI (DUSTAR-3), and various other musicians.

Acid Black Cherry’s popularity increased rapidly, and yasu appeared in various magazines and in a lot of radio shows, sometimes even doing radio appearances twice in a single day.

A second single has been scheduled for release in September and we are curious to see what Acid Black Cherry will bring us in the future!
